Using Carbilev for many years has improved my quality of life but I needed Sinemet 200mg at night so that I could function if I got up during the night. Was on Pexola for several years then did not do so well and came off and started Stelivo. Stelivo was used with Carbilev for about 6 months. Initially it was wonderful then had a lot of weight loss, panic attacks and feeling very cold and exhausted. Came off very slowly. For a year on Carbilev 5 X 25/100 a day and Sinemet 200mg at night t... View full comment

I am at a standstill as to whether this drug helps any at all. I weaned myself off for a period of 6 months, my throat no l... View full comment

I have been using nuvaring over 4 months now. Have experienced no problems. I feel that a lot of complaints from other users is from incorrect use and from unhealthy individuals trying to use a hormonal method. I think that if you are healthy (not overweight, excercise regularly, etc.) before use than you will have less side effects. Working in the area of of family planning as a Registered Nurse this is what I see from a professional point of view: Unhealthy Americans that already have nu... View full comment
